Sorry SE, but endgame won't work if you don't fix something.

constantly running wont work for casters. they have to stop and cast. that is not a solution.

I have honestly, not had a problem in titan.

People like to blame the game when they screw up.

Yeah, pretty much this~ It's like the people who d/c while playing then log on and blame it on the servers.. when everyone else is connected just fine. But don't tell them it might be their ISP, they'll s**t a brick and throw a fit. Threads like these are just bad players playing bad. The thing is though, SE will cater to them and they will nerf Titan, then they'll start complaining about how hard stuff hits in the coil, or start complaining that you need to stack specific jobs in coil turn 4, it will never end.

Edit:
Also, to all the players claiming Yoshi acknowledges this problem, what do you expect him to say? "You guys just suck."... Of course he's not going to outright say that.. He's going to spoon feed you the answers you want, it's bad business practices to do anything else. But fear not, I'm sure the next patch will probably double the charge time for Weight of the Land so you guys can all make your way to the coil, only to wipe on the very first ADS and return to the forums demanding a nerf.

screwing up is having the attack happen when you are standing within the marked area. being way WAY WAY out of it and still being hit (not just barely out) is a problem not with the player but the way the game is working for the players.

this is not about DC'ing its about the duty finder servers lagging bad enough that the only indication you have to react to is happening too late to react to in time with the game server. the graphics telling you to move are not in synch on the players screen and the game server. you move when prompted to yet the server has already decided you didn't.

being on a 25mb/sec connection I'm confident my ISP is not the issue especially when the only time I get lag at all is when in instances through duty finder.

Most of the people here saying they don't have issues play DD characters as mains. They don't realize the problem mainly resolves in healers/blm/sch/smn because their casting times.

Things that work or have been working:

Melee/upclose party (don't have a video yet. Tested it and it works with a smart party who can move fast close together) : everyone can stack behind titan so all the plumes overlap into 1. Easier to dodge just strife left or right.

Ranged DD pt SPREAD OUT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz4Vp8VhJfA

Do not cast a long cast spell between landslide and plume stages. Use Swiftcast if needed.

Don't cast anything if plumes show up under you. Instead move outside and cast something even if you interrupt it. (Been said a few times here)
I hope this helps out a little bit. SE knows there are still issues with Titan Hard and server sync. Friends of mine have sent tickets in and got basic replies that they are working on it.

People saying that these people just "suck." Didn't play beta to even know this issue has been going on since then. It kind of reminds me of Ifrit extreme in 1.0 but they never fixed that.

I too have not had a problem with any of the "tells". but frmo watching the video links in the OP, they definately get out in time. so it seems to me that they may have either an slow internet or graphics are set to high and their PC/PS3( can graphics be toned down on PS3? idk) is lagging.

Infact i can run out and as soon as the "tell" disappears i run back in, the animation hasn't even gone off yet but i don't get hit.

That's your argument? Yoshi is lying to us to spare our feelings?

Hahaha - That's the weakest argument I've seen yet.

Most of the people are not asking for nerfs, contrary to what you're saying.

Obviously discussing this has become pointless, we have the "it's the players fault" people like you and video evidence that says otherwise.

We will have to agree to disagree. IMO they can't fix it so I don't see any point in discussing it further.

[CatofNineTails]

the game is optimized but they seem to have forgotten that when doing the boss fights. they opted for showier graphics on the ground tells and usually the chamber the boss is in has far more pixels to load than the regular game so it automatically creates graphics lag for a portion of the players add to that DF also has its own lag between the players and the servers and you can have some pretty delayed tells.

[Saerie]

blah blah blah.

Best example of Etilism here my friends, So you think you are better than everyone else just because you're one of the lucky people that isn't affected by this?
Theres a limit to being ignorant, You don't undersand the main issue here do you? It's not just Titan it happens on every monster on this game that has aoe skills.
So you honestly think that all of us are that "bad" that we cant even dodge normal mobs aoe's properly? Most normal mob aoe's I can get out of easily,
but I'm quite sure many people are having trouble with them. You don't see me calling them bad or they suck because I know there is a problem with the server.
You can't also mean everyone who has this problem has bad ISP/Internet? Some might, but this many people?
are you kidding me? I've played tons of games with different kinds of AOE mechanics and have never encountered an Issue like this.
I've been using the same ISP for it.
So you still think its our internet? Not being rude, but your head cant think of anything better for a reason so you just go with the "These players must suck, It's probably the ISP/Internet's fault".

What's funny is the game itself never lags for me NEVER have I encountered lag,damage,skill delays. But when it comes to these aoe's there's just something wrong.Really just get out of this thread, You're just making yourself look stupid. Sorry I dont know if you're just trolling but your post is just plain annoying.
If you don't have this problem you don't have to make rude assumptions and tell everyone that they are bad. Sometimes it's better to just shut up. Unless you love being hated by people.

Also don't give us the crap that yoshi is just sugarcoating things for us, Maybe with your horrible attitude you would probably do that, but don't assume others do.

I skimmed this thread and i didn't see any single person saying about titan nerf besides this one. What ppl ask is to fix this delay so we can fight it properly. Why are you even suggesting this? Or you're the one who need this badly?
